The Austin Triathlon is a premier international distance triathlon event held in downtown Austin. Imagine a world class triathlon held in Austin's front yard, but with the atmosphere and intimacy of a small hometown race. If you have done a Jack & Adam's event in the past, (The Rookie, Couples Triathlon, or Jack's Generic), then this is an event you definitely don't want to miss. Event features include:
- Live music on the bike and run course
- Free post race massage and ART
- Free post race food, drinks, beer, and ice cream
- Don T. Bonk
- Squirt guns on the run course
- Multi-sport expo
- Finish Line Carnival with games and over $4000 in free stuff!

You're right!
The run course is different this year! They added the part along Auditorium Shores with no out and back on 1st St.. which is fine by me! That part just seemed to take forever for some reason!

Yay, Stacey and Carolyn!!
This is SUCH a fun event!! I loved it last year although it was a fairly serious field of athletes competing... This year, with the sprint distance as well, maybe it will be a little more on the fun side v. competitive. Either way, I REALLY enjoyed it last year... The bike is fast and fun. Towne Lake is not that nasty (really!) and I like loops (bike and run) for the ability to gauge and pace yourself. FUN, FUN course!!
But, I have been hanging around with the wrong crowd and have gotten roped into the Longhorn Half. Had to cut something out, budget wise and goal wise. I am not a hardcore, race everything kind of woman like Carolyn; I must pace myself!!! :-)
I will most likely be out there volunteering though. Just cuz I want to help but also to complete participating in all of the TX Tri Series. That way I get to go to the series party... :-)
See y'all out there! Stacey, you will love this race and do so well, I am sure!! Yeeeeha!
Cindy
Thanks for those encouraging words
Fun, Fun, Fun...that will have to be my mantra when I'm PACING myself on the run!
whatever reason gets you out that day, it'll be great to see you
woohoo and yeehaa!!

Sweet!
Nice going Stacey - that little event in Marble Falls should have you well prepared for Austin Tri Olympic! I'm kind of on the fence for this one -- like Cindy I need to rein in the events I do a little bit, but like last year, I'll volunteer for something so I'll still be out there.

wouldn't be the same without you
but I know you need to do some careful, wise planning and minimize further problems with your leg. Thanks for the confidence!
I hope you have a great time at River Cities; I have fond memories of that one and would love to do it again someday.

I'm interested
Although I haven't signed up yet. If the price goes up August first, I better get going. I'm going for the Olympic distance. I just want to complete it, no time goals (although I'd like to finish before all the beer is gone-tee,hee)
Kendra
Hope you do sign up!
How cool to do a triathlon right in the middle of downtown?!

Do it, Kendra!!!!
Kendra,
Come on, come on, come on... You will be SO glad you did!!! And I need some Tri Zoners to root for out there while I am volunteering... :-)

Three Generations Are In
Kelly, Shannon, and I will do the sprint distance.

I'm in for the sprint...
Hopefully the cold water will make me swim faster. :-)
I'm sprinting
Determined to have a better time than CapTex! Downtown is a lot of fun with a lot of spectators to help cheer.

I'm in
I caught the Olympic Spirit so I'm going for the Olympic Distance. It's going to be so much fun!!!

yay!!
I don't think I'm participating (only volunteering) so flaunt your TZ colors so I can holler and ring cowbell!
- Annette

I'm in
After a work related hiatus, I am back in the saddle again! Hope I've had enough training time but trying to continue on with my TriZones workouts. Looking forward to it and hope to see a lot of familiar faces!

See you guys there!
